Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I've been using Bash scripts with cronjobs to schedule daily backups, and then sync the backup to BackblazeB2 after the local backup has completed.

However, it's a bit messy and has a failure point where a locally corrupted repo could be uploaded to the remote repo. It also doesn't send emails on failure or success.

After jumping between duplicati, duplicacy, borg backup, kopia I finally settled on Restic a couple of weeks ago.

Using it with resticprofile (https://github.com/creativeprojects/resticprofile) on Linux and Windows which does all the heavy lifting converting the setup from a simple configuration file to restic commands and adding a few options like calling webhooks on specific conditions etc. It is running rock stable so far.
